While searching for an HTTP client C++ based library, I have decided to use the casablanca -- so I needed to build it.
I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04.
While following the "common" build steps described here: How-to-build-for-Linux I have encountered a build error (when running the make command as the last operation of step 4).
The entire error output can be found here (now it is the last comment in the thread cpprestsdk-build-error#266).
Just to be sure my system has the needed build tools and libraries I performed the command mentioned in step 2 and this is the output:
--> Which means my system is "good to go".
So after I struggled it a little more, I have found "an alternative" way to build it:
I have downloaded the source code from here: Source Package: casablanca (2.8.0-2) [universe], and again, followed the same instructions STARTING FROM STEP 4 from the link mentioned in the question (How-to-build-for-Linux).
This time the make phase was successful !! (it is worth to mention that not all the unit tests that are recommended to be run on step 5 passed - I did not spend time trying to understand why...).
Went on and "copied-pasted" the complete sample provided at the bottom of the following link: cpprestsdk-Getting-Started-Tutorial.
Built the program with the following command (the program contained a single cpp file called main):
g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o myProg -lboost_system -lcrypto -lssl -lcpprest
Ran the program
./myProg
and it passed (there was output in the console saying:"Received response status code:200").
Would be glad to hear if you have encountered the same issue, or perhaps I did something wrong in my first attempt (or in any other step along the way).

I have installed Google's or-tools on my Mac running 11.1 (Big Sur). When I run make test_cc, I get a long list with different results and also some messenges like ---- Integer programming example with CPLEX ---- Supports for solver CPLEX not linked in.
However, if I try an example from https://developers.google.com/optimization/introduction/cpp, I get the above error (see header) when trying to make and run the program (I have copy pasted the complete program). I have executed the make command with
Death-Star:or-tools me$ make run SOURCE=../Routing/Routing/main.cpp. ls ../Routing/Routing/main.cpp shows the file.
What have I done wrong?
or-tools version is 8.1.8487
I have found several conflicting answers over this topic. This blog post requires libuwind, but that doesn't work on Mac OS X. I included #include <google/profiler.h> in my code, however my compiler (g++) could not find the library. I installed gperftools via homebrew. In addition, I found this stackoverflow question showing this:
Then I ran pprof to generate the output:
[hidden ~]$ pprof --text ./a.out cpu.profile
Using local file ./a.out.
Using local file cpu.profile.
Removing __sigtramp from all stack traces.

12 4.3% 47.9% 12 4.3% 0x000000010d721de8
...
Running that command (without any of the prior steps) gets me this:
[hidden]$ pprof --text ./a.out cpu.profile
Using remote profile at ./a.out.
Failed to get the number of symbols from http://cpu.profile/pprof/symbol
Why does it try to access an internet site on my machine and a local file on his/hers?
Attempting to link lib profiler as a dry run with g++ gets me:
[hidden]$ g++ -l libprofiler
ld: library not found for -llibprofiler
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I have looked at the man pages, the help option text, the official online guide, blog posts, and many other sources.
I am so confused right now. Can someone help me use gperftools?
The result of my conversation with #osgx was this script. I tried to clean it up a bit. It likely contains quite a few unnecessary options too.
The blog post https://dudefrommangalore.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/profiling-c-code-using-google-performance-tools/ "Profiling C++ code using Google Performance Tools" 2012 by dudefrommangalore missed the essential step.
You should link your program (which you want to be profiled) with cpu profiler library of gperftools library.
Check official manual: http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/cpu_profiler.html, part "Linking in the Library"
add -lprofiler to the link-time step for your executable. (It's also probably possible to add in the profiler at run-time using LD_PRELOAD, but this isn't necessarily recommended.)
Second step is to collect the profile, run the code with profiling enabled. In linux world it was done by setting controlling environment variable CPUPROFILE before running:
CPUPROFILE=name_of_profile ./program_to_be_profiled
Third step is to use pprof (google-pprof in ubuntu world). Check that there is not-empty name_of_profile profile file generated; it there is no such file, pprof will try to do remote profile fetch (you see output of such try).
pprof ./program_to_be_profiled name_of_profile
First you need to run your program with profiling enabled.
This is usually first linking your program with libprofiler and then running it with CPUPROFILE=cpu.profile.
I.e.
$ CPUPROFILE=cpu.profile my_program
I think that later step is what you have been missing.
The program will create this cpu.profile file when it exits. And then you can use pprof (preferably from github.com/google/pprof) on it to visualize/analyze.
I am trying to run the Woden Physics Example inside Pharo which involves getting Bullet properly compiled and the smalltalk bindings properly installed in Pharo.
I am using Linux Mint 17 x64.
But NativeBoost seems unable to load the compiled libraries. I have been using the sources provided here:
https://github.com/ronsaldo/bullet-pharo
https://github.com/ronsaldo/swig
I built the modified version of swig as well as the bullet libraries and bindings with the provided build scripts.
I also have doublechecked that the bullet libraries are 32 bit.
Opening up the Woden physics example returns this error:
failed to get a symbol address:
PharoNB_new_BTDefaultCollisionConfiguration__SWIG_1
When examining the call stack in the debugger, it turns out that the module handle is 0.
I verified this by executing the same message as
BulletCInterface nbLibraryNameOrHandle
executes:
NativeBoost forCurrentPlatform loadModule: 'BulletPharo'
This message returns 0. I tried to specify the full path to libPharoBullet.so in the workspace, like:
NativeBoost forCurrentPlatform loadModule:
'/home/martin/.local/share/Pharo/bullet-pharo/libBulletPharo.so'
with the same result. I also verified it with a 32 bit system library of mine (liblzma) and there NativeBoost was able to load it, as it returned a non-zero handle.
So i suspect something during compilation went wrong...
I also did
readelf -h libPharoBullet.so
and its ABI was "UNIX - GNU" while the ABI of pharo-vm is "UNIX - System V"
Could this be the problem here ?
How can i force the ABI to be System V when compiling ? I use gcc 4.8.2
Or what steps could i otherwise perform ?
I am having trouble compiling Fortran code with references to DISLIN. I have downloaded DISLIN from the website, unzipped the file and ran the setup. I have added an environment variable called DISLIN (C:\dislin) and added C:\dislin\win to the PATH section of my system variables.
I am trying to compile some example code of the DISLIN website which includes line
USE DISLIN
I am using a MinGW shell to compile with command gfortran -o progrname -ldislin EX11_1.f90 and am getting the following error:
Fatal Error: Cant open module file 'dislin.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory.
I have tried changing the variable path and even moving the dislin.mod file (which is there) but still get the same message.
Ok I fixed this problem so thought I come back and post what worked for me incase any one else needs it...
Install both DISLIN and MinGW on the c drive
Copy disgf.a from /c/dislin and dislin.f90 from /c/dislin/gf into the directory containing your fortran files
(for me this is /c/MinGW/pnote)
Using the MinGW shell navigate to you files: cd /c/MinGW/pnote
compile dislin.f90 and your fortran program: gfortran -c dislin.f90 progName.f90 (dislin.f90 obviously only needs to be done once)
link libraries etc and compile: gfortran progName.o disgf.a -luser32 -lgdi32 -lopengl32 -o exeName
'run' exeName
You probably need to specify the path to the DISLIN module files:
gfortran EX11_1.f90 -o progrname -ldislin -I/path/to/DISLIN/modules
and, if not already configured like described here, also the path to the library itself:
gfortran EX11_1.f90 -o progrname -ldislin -I/path/to/DISLIN/modules \
-L/path/to/DISLIN/library
They provide a batch file (windows) to do the compiling and linking for you.
f90link -c My_Program
This is located in c:\dislin\Win
Also, if you are having trouble with the dislin.mod file which resides in c:\dislin\gf then recompile that with the -c compile option. I found all of this info in c:\dislin\readme.inf
near as I can tell (Jan 2018) dislin (64 bit) fails miserably with gfortran 7.2, period; and probably with many other newer compilers.
When trying to link, gfortran 7 says 'dislin.mod' is an unrecognizable format.
I think this program is highly dependent on exactly correct version synchronization - something that renders such software useless imho after many years in research.
and no, the correctness of various 'paths' seems not to help.
after all, gnuplot works, "at all". Not sure why I spent so much time on brand x.

I'm using vmware's web application api in an attempt just to simply retrieve the fields in the "ServiceContent" object. There is an example of how this should be accomplished located at the vmware forum. The example contained there compiles fine for me however I get segfaults when running the simple example - specifically the trace goes back to the soap_serializeheader() function (I believe these are defined in stdsoap2.cpp). My problem is that I do not know how to avoid this segfault and have no idea why this is occurring (as I am following the example almost word for word). I am using OS X tool chain (gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465) ) combined with (gsoap release 2.7.16). I tried gsoap 2.8 but got the same result. Below is the procedure I used to get to where I am now.
These are the commands I used to parse the wsdl:
wsdl2h -o vim25.h vimService.wsdl
Once this is parsed, I compiled using the following command:
soapcpp2 -x -C -pvsp vim25.h -I/place/where/stlvector.h/is
this generates files vspC.cpp, vspClient.cpp, and vspVimBindingProxy.cpp. Internally these files have the same prefixes for functions (i.e. ns1/ns2 etc) so my calls are the same as those in the example.
This is the command I am using to compile vspC.cpp and vspClient.cpp:
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL -c vspC.cpp
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL -c vspClient.cpp
This is the command I use to compile stdsoap2.cpp (if I do not compile with -DWITH_NONAMESPACES I get an error about an undefined symbol "_namepspaces" when I link everything):
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL -DWITH_NONAMESPACES -c stdsoap2.cpp
I then link everything together with the test code (again this is copied almost identically from the example, just with the changes to correctly refer to the files I created):
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL vspC.o vcpClient.o stdsoap2.o testcase.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -o doesntwork
This compiles correctly, but of course fails to run. I read about an OS X user in this vmware forum post who was also having trouble. It appears the gsoap guide says you cannot use stdsoap2.cpp's header and fault serialization codes, and you must compile them separately. The user in the OS X post seems to have done this, however I am not sure how to incorporate them into my test file (he creates the empty env.h file and then compiles it with soap2cpp) - if I include the envH.h file i get about naming conflicts with vspH.h. So a second question would be how do I use soap2cpp to compile all the stubs correctly so that there are not namespace conflicts (which is what I appear to be encountering).
I will not provide the source, as it is displayed at the first vwmare forum link by user stumpr. I do not believe the issue is in the source, but in the way I have used either wsdl2h, soap2cpp, or some incorrect combination of flags during compilation with g++.
Thanks for taking a look, and hopefully some one can resolve the issue!
EDIT I think I may have solved this - by using a 64bit system (and one with more memory). I tried compiling with -m32 on the X.6 and it was not able to do it (complaining about memory issues).
Hopefully someone will stumble upon this and be happy to know the answer.
